Hi for a little bit I had been riding with Mavic Cosmos.. Recently I switch to Spinergy Rev X, which is a much more stiffer wheel. I have noticed I get more vibration from these wheels, especially on bad roads.. I kinda get used to it.. Is this normal..? Am I just used to riding on more flexible wheels? Kinda like going from aluminum to steel ect.. Thanks

Yep, nothing is free. There is always a compromise.
